implementation possibility

This could happen via NIP-89

We also need to publicly see who the guardians of the federation are, so people can determine beforehand if they trust the federation

Let's discuss this in our next call. There are tradeoffs.

Why? All users care about is a working wallet. They don't care about how it works. The entire point of the fedimint is to have a wallet that just works and is not in single custody.

More advanced things like switching federations will be v2 or v3. It's not the MVP.

I feel like all of these WoT and fedimint switching issues are a huge distraction at the moment. Just getting it working is already difficult enough.

There are lots of details like how zaps will work is what we need to focus on for the MVP.

If the number of malicious guardians exceeds the maximum faulty number for the federation, they can do many unwanted things like deny valid ecash and generate new ecash from thin air, things a user would not want to occur.

I agree that we should focus our efforts on MVP

Agree, WoT and fedimint switching are 'nice to haves', not MVP. But we should have some rudimentary way of showing users who the guardians of the federation are, so if they end up performing maliciously, they can be held accountable. I definitely don't think any guardian for the Damus federation would actually be malicious, but I think it helps instill trust for users.
